Sylvia Plath books update

Coming out toward the end of September is The Cambridge Introduction to Sylvia Plath by Jo Gill, of the University of Exeter. Cambridge University Press has some of the contents online through their website. The Cambridge Introduction to Sylvia Plath is a short introductory guide to Plath's work (poetry, prose, journals, etc. and to the critical reception of her writing) aimed primarily at students and interested general readers. Those familiar with Gill's essays on Plath (Sexton, and others) should be on the lookout!

Available through Random House is an ebook version of The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath, 1950-1962 edited by Karen Kukil. At only $9.95, who wouldn't want a PDF of this wonderful book, which is likely fully searchable?

31 July 2008 - Update:The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath, 1950-1962, as an ebook, is available through either Amazon.com or Sony eBook. It does require downloading some free software. The Amazon Kindle version, from what I can, is available on the Kindle only, whereas the Sony eBook is available on either a Sony eBook reader or on a PC. Advantage: Sony. If anyone knows something more about the Kindle, please post a comment!
